Yes I did basically go RTFM to my vibe coding AI assistant!

After watching this www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/... I won't ever think of the new pope as anything other than Pope Rob!

Some personal news: meet my new replacement at the all new Observer newspaper. Yes, it’s Facebook’s very own Nick Clegg. Congrats to everyone involved in this absolutely stellar signing. Take a bow. observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

Newsletter: The DeepSeek situation is a moment that should fill Silicon Valley with shame, a monument to the lack of vision and herd mentality of the American tech industry. OpenAI and Anthropic have no moat, no business, no innovation, and I believe no future. www.wheresyoured.at/deep-impact/

"The spectre of AI does nothing for growth if it gives away what we own so that we can rent from it what it makes." - that's some extremely skilled political rhetoric, really great speech writing (Prior to the Lords she had a long career as a film director in the UK, which I think shows)

GTA ? Hamlet? Why not both ? www.undiscoveredcountryfilm.com This is an enjoyable hour and a half !

I know E17 "another day " is cheesy but it's on my must watch at Xmas songs ( the video just makes me lol) & they can actually sing!

Ok guess Xmas really is nearly here! First listen to Fairytale of NewYork 😀 which just happens to be my fav xmas song!

You really can create an application in an afternoon without writing a line of code yourself. I have had fun with Cursor and it's as amazing as everyone who has had hands on with it said! grumpygrace.dev/posts/cursor...

Me a Brit receiving gifts of tea from an American and a Kenyan 😍. I like tea so these are good gifts but the irony of tea for the Brit is not lost on me !

Him "Why are you cackling like a witch?" Me" I'm watching the Apartment!" . The Apartment is on my December watchlist!

Just saying! I will never understand why any country does not use a portal that is owned by the govt apparatus to communicate with the population rather than multi media sites which reach only a small percentage of the population.

The critically acclaimed play starring Michael Sheen as Aneurin 'Nye' Bevan and his fight to create the NHS is now free to watch for a limited period https://buff.ly/4fFSmF8

At this point I do not dare ask what mischief the local hooligans are going to get up to after taunting next doors dog

Seeing the AI summaries compare things that make no sense being compared . It's a wild ride of AI generated hilarity.

When you resort to looking out of the window because the weather apps have a difference of opinion !

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #71,972!

Oh a new Alan Moore book out soon and it involves a parallel / simultaneous version of London. I've been hunting for a neverwhere type book for years apparently it hadn't been written yet. 😀

I am way more invested in the paralympics. Every single competitor is elite and amazing and team GB are brilliant.

Jeez it's amazing how a little distance makes you forget. Wearing a mask on public transport today as I am tail end of my cold . Masks are not comfortable .

No matter how 🦇💩 politics are in the UK it's just organically diverse . Today we got the 1st female chancellor & she's pragmatic. We've had female PMs , A PM of Asian heritage , Wales has a senedd leader who has Zambian heritage.

I've never had a Facebook account but I imagine it's pretty much like linkedin is now ! Michael Spicer is spot on youtu.be/421twOHytG0?...

I am wondering where we will magic all the promised doctors, nurses, care workers & teachers from ? The random promises from all the parties with no actual plan re how they can be fulfilled is annoying to say the least!

Me realising you can guess someone's age from their first Dr ! And feeling old!

Me thinking I like the tranquility of blue sky so I won't be complaining about the half arsed airline apps out there .

Be warned if you watch saltburn you won't stop listening to youtu.be/hAx6mYeC6pY?... It's a good film but this earworm 🥴

A Spice girls song in Dr Who wasn't on my list for 2023 but I'm here for it ! 😂

A little hitchhiker's guide to the universe vibes about Dr Who today

A bit early but guess it's okay today youtu.be/j9jbdgZidu8?...

Dr Who has been the best for what seems forever! 😍

There wasn't much worth watching on TV this weekend but the openai drama was fairly entertaining. I ran out of 🍿 though after today's episode.

My robovac acts like a petulant child or dog who doesn't want to stop playing outside. It finds every excuse not to go back to it's charging base when you tell it ok enough go home now !

Bodies on Netflix is a timey winey delight

Dear hotel's please stop with the open networks. A password isn't that much of a barrier for your customers to set up! On the flip side guess this encourages the use of VPNs although pretty sure that's not why this is even a thing!

Current local street art

til: dbdb.io/db/ingres I spent many a year having fun with this DBMS When working with databases was fun & you had a lot of knobs to twist! 😃

One of my fav bands doing a cover of one of my fav bands songs. All the feels! youtu.be/XhGA2PkSNW4?...

Weekend reading : grumpygrace.dev/posts/auto-sec… I've written up some guidance on how to implement security testing as part of your LLM MLOps pipeline. If you use GCP's Vertex AI then you're in luck if not you have some translation work to do. I even managed to squeeze a flow chart in!

Reading this -> https://aclanthology.org/2023.findings-acl.426/ made me wonder why more orgs don't use architecture decision records to validate their design choices. Never mind finops how about designops!

I decided to take a break from talking about LLMs and amused myself with an analogy to talk about confidential computing (well eventually that is!) https://grumpygrace.dev/posts/analogieswithcs/

I know you're thinking it but I'm gonna say it out loud : The term "prompt engineering" is pretentious!

Observation: Janet from the Good place is a GAI

I wrote another longish LLM focused post this time I Decided to list what I believe are the top 10 security and privacy risks associated with LLMs . I had a lot of fun digging into this . https://grumpygrace.dev/posts/top-10-sec-llm/

Miley 's version of Zombie ain't half bad 😀

So my 2nd whatever you call a post here is this. Just don't talk to random strangers on the tube if there isn't the Olympics going on https://thelanguagenerds.com/2022/unwritten-rules-from-different-countries/?fbclid=IwAR0lJcvTrcfE8BTZHfljna3aC9Eyqqcds7LoY1mbT9sHAXrK77IK5s0IHlo 😂
